These photos may be too large and I may need to resize, if so, like mentioned earlier any and all help is apricated . . . there are more attached and more coming

So the vehicle came in and the team and I saw the M3 roll in on a flatbed and it felt like time stopped and we all turned and looked at each other and I swear all had F&F flash backs where Brian towed and dropped off the Supra to Dom.

We didn't want to try and start the vehicle not knowing the potential extent/damage from sugar in the tank. Our first order of operations was disconnecting and prevent fuel pump activation so we could plug in to out old and trusty protool to see what faults we had . . . yea the obvious voltages concerns, kombi, and all the thousands of warning, SRS ect were all there.

We started by quoting all new injectors, removing tank, new fuel pump - the works to at least get us somewhere for the diagnosis and repairs and well so we could move the vehicle around.

Sorry, I didn't mention THIS WAS AN ACT OF VANDALISM and the vehicle on had liability during the incident

Long story short, angry person with keys to the vehicle, several pounds of sugar, an aluminum baseball bat and what looks like one heck of a major league level of a swing equal a total loss.

I am now getting errors trying to upload photos, so maybe there is to much mega and giga chompers using my cellphone.

What's damaged if you can't tell in the photos:
  • pretty much every body panel, minus front fenders and bumper
  • every light
  • mirrors and all glass
  • cluster and idrive display
  • sadly holes in the carbon roof too
  • did I mention sugar?!?!
